　　THE CIA IN ITS GLORY DAYS and the mad confidence that led to

disaster in Vietnam are the subjects of Roger Warner's prizewinning

history, Shooting at the Moon: The CIA's War in Laos (first

published as Back Fire, Simon & Schuster, 1995). For a few

years in the early 1960s the CIA seemed to be running a perfect

covert war in Laos - quiet, inexpensive, just enough arms to help

Meo tribesmen defend their home territory from the Communist Pathet

Lao. Then the big American war next door in Vietnam spilled across

the border. How the perfect covert war ballooned into sorrow and

disaster is the story Roger Warner tell in Shooting at the Moon,

awarded the Cornelius Ryan Award for 1995's Best Book on Foreign

Affairs by the Overseas Press Club.

Warner describes his characters with a novelist's touch -

soldiers and diplomats busy with war-making; CIA field officers

from bareknuckle warriors to the quiet men pulling strings in the

shadows; and above all the Meo as they realized they had been led

down the garden path.

This is a book about war, about secrecy, and its illusions, about

the cruel sacrifice of small countries for the convenience of large

ones. Nothing better has been written about the CIA in the years

when it thought a handful of Americans in sunglasses could do

anything with planeloads of arms and money to burn.
